Hotels & Lodging: Das Kranzbach in Germany by Julie

Issue 51 · Textiles & Textures · December 25, 2009

A first look at London-based designer Ilse Crawford's recently completed Das Kranzbach spa hotel in the Bavarian Alps. Crawford's Studio Ilse has revamped the interiors using her signature mix of unexpected color combinations and daring furniture mashups. Suddenly George Nelson bubble lamps look new again when hung in clusters; white bentwood chairs are at ease next to Arne Jacobsen Swan chairs. Traditional Windsor dining chairs seem fashionable when painted glossy red. How does she do it?
